the irish brigade – the ballad of pat o’donnell lyrics
[verse 1]
my name is pat o’donnell i was born in donegal
l am, you know, a deadly foe to traitors one and all
for the shooting of james carey i was tried in london town
and on some fatal scaffold there, my life i must lay down
[verse 2]
i sailed on board the ship melrose, in august ‘eighty+three
and carey, he was on board, but still unknown to me
when i found out he was carey, we had angry words and blows
the traitor tried my life to take on board the ship melrose
[verse 3]
i took my stand in self+defense, to fight before i would die
my pocket pistol i drew out, and at carеy i let fly
i recalled thе comrades he had betrayed, their families torn apart
a look of fear flashed o’er his face as my bullet pierced his heart
[verse 4]
they turned me back to london town, without the least delay
and there, my trial i had to stand, when i landed at plymouth bay
the packed jury found me guilty, and the judge to me did cry
“on the seventeenth of november, patrick o’donnell, you must die!”
[verse 5]
if i had lived a free man just another year, all traitors and informers
i would make them shake with fear
all traitors and informers, it’s them i would hunt down
they would fly before o’donnell like the hare before the hound
[verse 6]
farewell to dear old donegal, my home their native land
farewell to [?] and her shimmering silver strands
my wife, [?], with her woods and valleys green
for nevermore, from the gweedore shore, o’donnell will be seen
for nevermore, from gweedore shore, o’donnell will be seen
